Small town living surrounded by mountains and nature in Alpine
Several neighborhoods in Utah County offer a small-town feel, but Alpine is where you live if you want to actually be in a small town.“ There’s a lot less traffic, spectacular views and you’re nestled against the mountains,” says Realtor Mariah Koehle of eXp Realty. You won’t find a grocery store in this city, but here’s what you will find; a quiet, intentional community. People with a desire for an intimate experience with nature will plant a life here – and never leave.
The Alpine neighborhood is surrounded by scenic mountain views.

High-dollar homes with prices tags typically over $1 million
Be ready to spend big on a home; Alpine has a reputation for being the most expensive city in Utah County. “If money weren’t an object, I think most people in this area would choose to live in Alpine,” says Koehle. Homes range from $500,000 to $4 million, with most priced over $1 million. It’s common to see this wide variety of homes all sharing the same block, so your house won’t necessarily be surrounded by others similar to it. Single-family homes between $700,000 and $900,000 sit on up to a quarter of an acre of land, and those over $1 million may be accompanied by half at least half an acre. Listings may be scarce, as neighbors in Alpine aren’t commonly known for moving away; however, that’s not stopping those set on creating a life here. You’ll notice more new constructions popping up, and more houses may eventually mean less land, so keep that in mind when you’re searching for a home. Floor to ceiling windows are a common feature on multi-million dollar mansions sitting on the east bench – perfect for taking in mountain views. Old ramblers make up the bulk of homes on the lower end of the price range, however they’re either well-maintained or recently remodeled inside. No matter where your house stands, breathtaking views are guaranteed as you walk to your mailbox or weed your backyard garden; and they’re not limited to the mountains. Several homes look over the valley and others face Utah Lake.
New Alpine homes feature large yards and basketball courts.
Large Alpine homes often include spacious backyards and courts.

Public schools found nearby in Highland

Outdoor activities include Horsetail Falls hikes, skiing at Sundance
Outdoors is where residents in Alpine prefer to spend their free time. Three playgrounds will suit kids of any age at Creekside Park. You’ll also find sand volleyball courts, basketball and tennis courts and large grassy areas to throw a frisbee or football. Get your steps in on the walking trail at Burgess Park or cheer on your child’s baseball team. Lambert Park is where most scenic trails begin for hikers and mountain bikers. Dear Creek and Horsetail Falls will lead you to natural waterfalls and Box Elder Peak boasts beautiful views of the valley. During the winter months, grab your skis and head to Sundance; you’re just 40 minutes away. Neighbors looking for an exclusive experience can play a round of golf at the Alpine Country Club. The city doesn’t have a library, but your family will be reimbursed up to $40 for memberships in surrounding cities.

5K, mountain biking race highlight Alpine Days event
There is one event that brings everyone in this city of barley 10,000 together: Alpine Days. Lace up your sneakers or put your helmet on; this annual 10-day festival includes a 5K and mountain biking race. There’s also a carnival with a Ferris wheel, fireworks show and a parade. Don’t wait until the day of the parade to dig out your camping chairs; neighbors save their seat along the side of the road days in advance.
Located within 35 minutes of Salt Lake City, Provo
The only people coming in and out of Alpine are those who live here, so traffic isn’t ever an issue; and surrounding areas still easy to get to. Lehi is less than 10 minutes from your front door, Provo is half an hour south and Salt Lake City is 35 minutes north.
